895: C895 Stratagem

C895 Stratagem

On this day, Zhao Zhi was on an errand and when he returned to a remote alley, a masked man dressed in black, whose entire body was covered in blood, suddenly stumbled out from the side.

This situation shocked Zhao Zhi greatly.

The timid him had wanted to leave, but the other side instead panted and said to him, "Brother, don't go!"

The more the other party said it, the more Zhao Zhi wanted to leave, but he continued, "I have a treasure map with a ruin on it, there seems to be some spirit fire inside."

Hearing that, Zhao Zhi stopped in his tracks. Although he did not have much guts, but this kind of thing was extremely tempting to someone like him who did not have any spirit flames.

"Why are you telling me this?" Then, when Zhao Zhi said this, he was puzzled that the other party would actually say such a thing despite being heavily injured.

"I have enemies chasing after me from behind. They are so powerful that I can't even save my life. Naturally, I don't want the treasure map that I painstakingly obtained to fall into their hands."

"I see that you're a good person, so I think it's better to give this treasure map to you instead. It's better to give it to you rather than to give it to you."

The masked man replied with difficulty.

As he spoke, he took out a yellowed rolled up piece of paper. There were still traces of blood on it.

Looking at the rolled up paper, Zhao Zhi felt that something was amiss, so he immediately said, "If the other party knew that I was the one who took it, wouldn't they be chasing me to the ends of the earth to obtain it?"

"Don't worry, I'll burn another piece of paper if they catch up with me. If they burn this paper, they won't know that I've given it to you." The masked man said.

"Is that so?" Zhao Zhi was moved, but he still hesitated.

Seeing Zhao Zhi hesitate, the masked man threw the rolled up piece of paper onto the ground, and said, "It doesn't matter if you want me to leave this place or not. You don't need to avenge me, because the other party is very strong and is not someone you can take care of."

And then he ran away. He didn't even look back.

Zhao Zhi was indeed moved, even though his heart was beating strongly but seeing that there was no one around, he finally picked up the rolled up paper in his hands and quickly ran towards Eagle Hall.

Once Zhao Zhi left, two figures immediately appeared on the side of the street. These two people were Yang Feiyu and Yu Hongcai.

Following that, the masked man covered with blood from before also arrived beside them.

At this moment, the masked man had already taken off his mask. He looked like a middle-aged man, but he didn't show any signs of being injured.

"Well done." Yu Hong praised.

As he spoke, he took out some magic coins to reward the middle-aged man.

"Thank you, Young Master Yu." The middle-aged man was immediately overjoyed.

He was naturally happy that he had received such a reward for acting in such a casual manner.

He was one of Elder Liang's subordinates, and was pulled over by Yu Hongcai to act for Zhao Zhi.

"However, don't tell anyone about this matter. If I were to find out about it, you'll be in for it!" After which, Yu Hong's expression hardened.

The powerful aura he was emitting immediately made the middle-aged man break out in cold sweat. He hurriedly said, "Rest assured, Young Master Yu. This subordinate will not reveal such a thing."

"Yes." Seeing the other party act this way, Yu Hong then nodded his head in satisfaction and said to Yang Feiyu: "Feiyu, this Zhao Zhi wouldn't be thinking of exploring the so-called ruins by himself, right?"

"Don't worry about Hong Cai, this Zhao Zhi is cowardly. Furthermore, that Lin Li has displayed great strength and even obtained the love of Master, no matter what, Zhao Zhi will pull Lin Li over." Yang Feiyu said.

"That's good." Yu Hongcai said. He didn't want to waste his efforts.

After that, the two of them were obviously secretly observing Lin Long and Zhao Zhi's every move.

After returning to his own room in the Eagle Hall, Zhao Zhi naturally took out the treasure map and looked at it seriously.

After looking through it many times, he was sure that it was really a treasure map. After confirming this, his heart started beating even faster.

This map was indeed a treasure map, and the ruins definitely existed, so Yu Hongcai and Yang Feiyu were not worried about not being able to trick Zhao Zhi.

Of course, the treasure map was real, but the items inside had already been plundered clean.

After confirming that it was the treasure map, Zhao Zhi initially wanted to go by himself, but he quickly rejected this idea. He knew that with his strength, even if no one fought with him over the map, it would be difficult to obtain the item inside.

Thus, after some thought, he decided to look for a helper. There were a few in Eagle Hall who had a good relationship with him, but either they were too weak or very arrogant.

Thus, Zhao Zhi finally set his gaze on Lin Long.

Junior-apprentice Brother Lin's strength is not bad, and he doesn't look like the kind of person who wouldn't let me eat soup if he ate porridge. Thinking about it this way, after hiding the treasure map on his body, Zhao Zhi immediately went to find Lin Long.

Not long after, there was a knock on Lin Long's door.

"Who?" Lin Long asked.

"It's me, Zhao Zhi." Zhao Zhi replied.

"Brother Zhao, what's the matter?" Opening the door, looking at Zhao Zhi outside, Lin Long asked.

"It's like this, I obtained the palm treasure map, I heard that there is a spirit fire inside, so I came to find you, Junior-apprentice Brother Lin, to see if you want to go with me to explore the ruins." Zhao Zhi said.

Seeing Zhao Zhi's nervous expression, Lin Long let Zhao Zhi in and closed the door.

"Senior brother Zhao, tell me exactly what happened." Lin Long said in a serious tone.

If there really was such a ruin, and there was a spirit fire inside, Lin Long would naturally be happy, but Zhao Zhi's arrival was so sudden and strange, he had to ask about it in detail.

At that moment, Zhao Zhi took out the rolled up paper from his chest and told his the whole story.

Hearing Zhao Zhi's words, Lin Long became suspicious, because even if there was such a good thing in the world, wasn't it too much of a coincidence that it landed on Zhao Zhi's body?

Seeing Lin Long like this, Zhao Zhi hurriedly asked, "Junior-apprentice Brother Lin, is this treasure map fake?"

"The treasure map is true, but the masked man is suspicious." Lin Long said.

"I also think that the other party is suspicious, but it is possible. If it was me, I would rather give the treasure map to someone else who is unrelated." Zhao Zhi said.

Although he had many doubts, he couldn't resist the temptation of the spiritual flame.

"Senior-apprentice Brother Zhao, how about this treasure map? I'll go out and check if there are any suspicious places. If there aren't any, how about we go to the ruins together?" With that, Lin Long handed the treasure map back to Zhao Zhi.

"Alright then." Zhao Zhi nodded.

After that, Zhao Zhi left, and Lin Long walked out of the Eagle Hall.

He indistinctly felt that this was someone targeting him, because after offending Yang Feiyu, it was simply too much of a coincidence that Zhao Zhi had obtained such a treasure map.

The reason why Lin Long walked out of the Eagle Hall was very simple, it was that if Yang Feiyu wanted to set a trap for him, he would definitely send people over, or maybe it was because Yang Feiyu himself was secretly stalking him.

As expected, the moment he walked out of the Eagle Hall, he discovered that his spiritual will was closely following him.

After determining this point, pretending to stroll around, and determining the exact location of the other party, Lin Long returned to Eagle Hall.

The two people who were secretly observing Lin Long outside were naturally Yang Feiyu and Yu Hongcai. When they saw that Lin Long had come out, the two of them naturally noticed that he was suspicious.

However, they were not worried that Lin Long would discover that someone was secretly observing them, because in their opinion, Lin Long's Martial Lord Realm was incapable of doing so.1

How could they have known that after Lin Long returned to the Eagle Hall, he came out again? However, this time, Lin Long, who was prepared, would naturally not let them discover him.

After that, Lin Long easily arrived outside the house the two people were staying. With Lin Long's strength, Yu Hongcai and Yang Feiyu naturally could not discover him.

"Then Lin Li will go back after walking around once, meaning that he did not find anything wrong, and that way, he will go with Zhao Zhi to the ruin. We just need to set up an ambush there." Yu Hongcai Yu said.

"Then I'll have to rely on you, Hong." Yang Feiyu flattered.

Although paying something like the Water Demon Crystal made him unhappy, with Yu Hongcai's strength and status, he had no choice but to lower himself.

"It's nothing." Yu Hong then said proudly, as if he had easily taken down Lin Long.

"Alright, Feiyu, keep an eye on them. Once they come out, inform me. We will immediately set up an ambush at the ruins." Yu Hong then added.

"Alright." Yang Feiyu replied.

Hearing the two of them talking like this, how could Lin Long not understand that this was a trap set up by Yang Feiyu.

Although he could easily take down two people with his strength, he still gave up on this idea. In Eagle Hall's territory, doing this was not appropriate.

After reaching the ruins, he didn't care about what he wanted to do. Of course, there was another point, and that was that he also wanted to go to the ruins. However, from the looks of it, there was a high chance that everything there had been emptied out.

After making such a decision, Lin Long immediately went to look for Zhao Zhi.

"Junior-apprentice Brother Lin, are you heading towards the ruins?" Upon seeing Lin Long, Zhao Zhi was overjoyed.

"That's what I meant." Lin Long nodded his head, but the topic of conversation quickly changed, "However, let me tell you the truth, this is only a scam that Yang Feiyu set up, in order to trick me into going to that ruin to deal with me."

"Is that so?" Zhao Zhi was a little disappointed. He had thought that there would be spirit flames, but who would have thought that it would be a scam.

"However, Junior-apprentice Brother Lin, how did you know?" Soon after, Zhao Zhi asked doubtfully.

He did not doubt Lin Long, but felt that it would be very difficult for Lin Long to see through this.

"Because my telepathic thoughts were much stronger than Yang Feiyu's, so I sneaked beside him without anyone knowing, and then heard his conversation with someone else." Lin Long said.

Somehow, ever since he met Lin Long, Zhao Zhi felt that he was a real person, so he believed in what Lin Long said.

"If that's the case, then why did we go to the ruins?" Zhao Zhi said.

Although he believed in Lin Long, he still chose to go despite knowing that there was an ambush.

"I went because I wanted to teach them a lesson." Lin Long said indifferently.
